Shackleton

That Shackleton managed to come back alive with all the crew members from what seems like an extraordinary journey is astonishing. As the author says, it is indeed quite interesting to analyze what made Shackleton a good leader, but I still have doubts on whether his leadership should be an example for us. We live in a completely different environment with different situations and challenges. Most of us would, never in our entire lives, experience what Shacleton went through, not even something similar to it. Moreover the more "real-life" examples that refer to Shackleton's leadership also seem very exceptional to most of us...

This is what I thought while reading the preface and chapter 1. But don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy reading what Shackleton and his crew members went through during their expedition!!!

Wednesday's class!!! I was curious of what we were going to do for class that day because Ino-Ken was playing around with oranges. haha. But they came in very handy... I guess... 

Together with leadership, negotiating is not my thing. I would rather wait for my partner to give in or otherwise give in myself. I always thought it would be less trouble that way. But today's negotiation practice made me understand that compromise isn't always the best solution. A little thinking may do both sides good! Maybe I should try it with my sisters too...
